Murong Ci stared at him quietly.
His sharp and angular appearance was partly hidden in the shadow.
His eyes were cold and sharp.
Although it was cold in the tunnel, if you hugged each other for a long time, it would be hot and even breathless.
The two gradually felt breathing difficulties, and Murong Yu said,
"This King will send you out first."
"Can we get out of this?"
Murong Ci was overjoyed.
"This slit is big enough for you to crawl out. Be careful."
He picked her up, and she used her strength to climb the round boulder.
Although the boulder was a bit slippery, the surface of the boulder was not as slippery as the white stone used in the Palace.
With a relaxed jump, she jumped down and finally escaped from the corner narrow space, and asked joyfully:
"Can you come here by yourself?"
He shook his head,
"Your Royal Highness, please go ahead, or find someone to rescue this King."
Murong Ci was silent for a moment, and said:
"If I was able to come out, how can you not be able to get through with your Martial Arts?"
"Your Royal Highness, please leave, don't mind me."
Murong Yu said indifferently.
"You can't really come here?"
She sternly said,
"That's really disappointing."
"I can't hide anything from you."
He smiled, leaped up to the boulder, and then jumped down easily.
"Let's go."
She walked forward without looking back.
"Your Royal Highness didn't leave me.
It can be seen that you are a man of love and righteousness."
He followed, with his voice overflowing with joy.
"That's because I don't want to come here again."
She said in a bad mood.
Murong Yu stopped talking, and thought inside his mind that His Royal Highness didn't only have hatred for him.
Back at the original bifurcation, they proceeded to the other tunnel.
The tunnel was very long, and the lights got darker and darker as they proceeded forward, because the lights were gone.
Murong Ci took out small light from her robe to illuminate the surroundings,
"This tunnel seems to be very long."
He replied:
"It should be about ten miles."
Suddenly, he took her hand and listened intently,
"There is someone behind."
She pricked up her ears and still couldn't hear anything, showing that Murong Yu's inner strength was beyond her power, so deep that she was no match to him.
"The chasing soldiers from behind will soon catch up with us!
Hurry, put the light away."
Murong Yu pulled her to rush forward, but stopped after running for a while, because he had found that the corner of the tunnel was very dark!
Basically he couldn't see his fingers, and there was a cavity in the corner that could be used to hide.
Murong Ci used the faint light to check the terrain of the small cave and found that there was a flat stone to sit on.
However, as she was about to sit down, he had already sat down.
She stared at him angrily,
'This man is not gentle enough.'
He pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
She trembled with anger, wishing to kill him!
'Hateful! Every time he's like this, taking advantage of the danger!'
"Shhh—"
Murong Yu issued a warning, hugged her from behind, holding her two hands, charmingly scented.
Now, she finally could hear the rushing footsteps of those behind.
Approximately, there were more than a dozen people behind.
In the darkness, his left arm lay across her chest.
Fortunately she had tied her chest with a cloth belt, otherwise it would be a tragedy.
She endured it silently, shrinking to the right.
She couldn't possibly expose her skills, and at this time, everything depended on his protection, so she could only temporarily let him "do whatever he wanted".
The footsteps were getting closer and closer.
She didn't really understand what his plan was.
'Using his Martial Arts to deal with just a dozen guards, wouldn't it be like cutting vegetables?
Why is there a need to hide here?'
Murong Ci lowered her voice and said the meaning in his ear.
The cavity was as dark as ink, and she couldn't see his expression.
Murong Yu didn't speak, because at this time the dozen people had already walked there.
They didn't spot them in the pit, so they hurried forward.
She moved a little and wanted to stand up, but he hushed again and motioned her not to move.
